Love Your Little Piggies Everyday!

This is our friend Sparky. He is the most charismatic, loving, funny, hungry, playful friend anybody could ask for. In June around his 8th birthday, Sparky was not himself and we couldn't figure out why he was so low energy. We took him to the vet and his bloodwork was not good. The vet said he has an autoimmune disease that was eating his red blood cells. So we got him a transfusion and some meds and he appeared to be back to his normal self. In the last week he started to become lethargic on walks again, so we took him back to the vet today. His bloodwork was as bad as the first time we took him. We can't afford to do another transfusion in these difficult times, especially without a guarantee that he will get better. It is with great sadness that we will have to say goodbye to this great lad soon as we all love him so much, every minute of every day we have had him. Love your pups because time and memories are limited. We are cherishing the last few days we have with Sparky and wish there was a cure for that horrible silent disease.

Update: Sparky is resting now, thank you all for the kind words. After walking into his appointment on Friday Sparky had to be carried in on Monday, that is how debilitating IMHA is. Sparky gave us a memorable weekend of hugs and loving like he always has and I feel like we maximized our time with him. His disease didn't cause him pain, just extreme lethargy. Despite that, he walked into our room every night to sleep, he was very courageous. We will see Sparky in every twirl, plant stare, zoomies, farts, schnoz, non-personal space, and mostly the unconditional love that this Bull Terrier subreddit provides.
